All eyes have turned toward the tech giant Google‘s new flagship series. Although the official launch is still months away, CAD render images shared by the reliable leaker OnLeaks have brought the design and hardware details of the Google Pixel 11 to light. Expected to be introduced in August 2026, the device indicates that Google will follow a strategy of refinement rather than radical design change.
Refined Design: Thinner Bezels and a Sleek Camera Bar
According to the leaked renders, the Pixel 11 maintains the core silhouette of its predecessor, the Pixel 10, while achieving a more modern aesthetic. The most striking change is the visible thinning of the display bezels. This allows the device to offer its 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED screen in an even more compact body.
The signature rear camera bar has also been overhauled. The renders suggest the camera module has slightly expanded in area but features a reduced protrusion. Additionally, the camera island—which integrated into the body on the Pixel 10—appears more prominent on the Pixel 11 with a full black matte finish.
The Heart of Performance: 2nm Tensor G6 Processor
The true revolution of the Pixel 11 is occurring under the hood. Leaks indicate that Google is moving to TSMC’s 2nm production process for its next-generation Tensor G6 chipset, moving away from Samsung foundries. This move signals a major leap in solving the chronic issues of overheating and high energy consumption previously associated with Pixel devices.
Leaked Technical Details of the Tensor G6:
- Architecture: A 7-core (1+4+2) CPU configuration optimized for thermal efficiency.
- Security: Integration of the new Titan M3 security chip for high-level encryption.
- Connectivity: A shift to the MediaTek M90 (M9) modem, promising more stable and efficient 5G performance compared to previous Samsung modems.
AI-Powered Video and Camera Capabilities
With the Tensor G6, Google is shifting its AI focus toward video. A standout feature expected with the Pixel 11 is “Video Relight,” which will allow users to change the lighting of a recorded video in real-time using AI. Furthermore, the Cinematic Blur mode is aimed at delivering professional-grade results with significantly lower battery drain.
Expected Hardware Specifications:
| Feature | Google Pixel 11 (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.3″ LTPO AMOLED, 120Hz |
| Processor | Google Tensor G6 (2nm) |
| RAM | 12 GB |
| Battery | 5,000 mAh |
| Charging | 30W Wired / Qi2 Wireless Support |
| Main Camera | 48 MP + 13 MP (Ultra Wide) + 10.8 MP (5x Telephoto) |
The Pixel 11 family (including the Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold) is expected to launch in August 2026 running Android 17 out of the box. Do you think the move to TSMC’s 2nm process will finally put Pixel’s performance on par with the iPhone and Galaxy series? Share your thoughts in the comments!
